RemoteOK Job Scraper — Salaries, Contacts & Monitoring

🌍 What does the RemoteOK Job Scraper do?

Turn the entire RemoteOK board into clean, structured job data — and get pinged the moment anything changes.

Scrape remote jobs from RemoteOK (remoteok.com) — the whole ~1,000-job catalogue or a filtered slice — into ready-to-use records with title, company, company logo, location, tags, a USD salary range, the full description (as text, HTML and Markdown), the apply URL, external apply links, and extracted contact emails. Schedule it with incremental monitoring and each run returns only what changed (NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED / EXPIRED), with instant alerts to Telegram, Slack, Discord or any webhook. No code required — export to JSON, CSV, Excel or the API, or wire it straight into an AI agent.

Why this scraper

• ⚡ Fast & low-cost — reads the public board in one direct pass, no proxy needed at typical volumes, so large runs stay cheap.
• 🧾 Rich, typed records — 25+ structured fields per job, not raw HTML.
• ♻️ Cheap to monitor — incremental mode returns only what changed since the last run (see below).
• 🔔 Notifications built in — Telegram, Slack, Discord or any webhook (n8n / Make / Zapier).
• 🤖 AI- & API-ready — compact + drop-empty output modes, MCP-friendly, one-click integrations.

✨ Key features

• 🔎 Search or filter the whole board — keyword search across title, company, tags and location, or pull every newest remote job with no filters at all.
• 🧾 Structured records — title, company, company logo, location, tags, salary min/max (USD, when published), apply URL, external apply links and posting date.
• 🎚️ Rich filters — search terms, 60+ role/skill tags, location, minimum salary and a max-results cap, all applied per job.
• 🧠 Full descriptions, three ways — every posting as plain text, HTML and Markdown, so it drops cleanly into a database, a page or an LLM prompt.
• 📧 Contacts & apply links — automatically extracts contact emails and external "apply" links from each description — outreach-ready.
• ♻️ Incremental monitoring — schedule it and get only what changed (NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED / EXPIRED); unchanged jobs are skipped so a daily watch costs a fraction of a full re-scrape.
• 🔁 Repost detection — flags jobs that are re-listings of an earlier posting, so your feed stays clean.
• 🔔 Notifications — Telegram, Slack, Discord or any webhook, with a configurable number of jobs per message.
• 🤖 AI-ready — compact mode and drop-empty-fields mode keep payloads small for LLMs and MCP clients.

📚 What data can you extract?

• Core job — title, company, companyLogo, location, isRemote, tags, url, applyUrl, publishedAt.
• Salary — salaryMin, salaryMax, salaryCurrency, salaryText (USD, present when the posting publishes it).
• Description & contacts (with full description on) — description, descriptionHtml, descriptionMarkdown, contactEmails, applyLinks.
• Identifiers & provenance — id, sourceJobId, slug, source, scrapedAt, contentHash.
• Monitoring (in incremental mode) — changeType (NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED / EXPIRED), isRepost, repostOfId, repostDetectedAt.

Every field is present in standard mode (missing values are null); compact mode returns the core fields only, for lean AI/MCP payloads.

♻️ Incremental monitoring — pay for changes, not repeats

Schedule the actor and turn on incremental mode: each run compares against the last and emits only NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED / EXPIRED records — unchanged jobs are skipped, so a daily watch costs a fraction of a full re-scrape. Pair it with a notification channel and every change lands in Telegram, Slack, Discord or your webhook automatically.

Daily churn	of 1,000 tracked	billable records	you save
5 %	1,000	50	95 %
15 %	1,000	150	85 %
30 %	1,000	300	70 %

The first run seeds the baseline and bills in full; every run after that bills only the delta.

❓ FAQ

Is it good for AI agents? Yes — enable compact mode; the output is MCP-friendly.
